Why is the losing fighter always shot? Everytime a fighter wins, another loses. Doesn't mean anything more than that.
If Margarito is shot, then Mosley isn't even together at all: he's been hit by so many bullets, he's no longer in one piece.
Margarito thought that he could just keep taking punches and then wear out his opponent later in the fight but that's not a smart way to fight. Cotto took a lot out of him and Mosley finished him off with his skills and precision.
I know....they said the same thing of Cotto's loss to Margie. The difference is that these above mentioned don't fashion their defense as one who eats leather all night as the IRON CHIN.
This is the beginning of the end and from this point onward he can be classed as shot. anybody who knows anything about boxing will know this. He will end up like Arturo Gatti because think about it. Any fight he has after this one is going to be double hard and his style will retire him. Some people on here seriously have no class, stupid comments all day long. Its funny how all of you GOONS are jumping on Margarito for the hand wraps but nobody is jumping on Mosley for popping Steroids. Or for De La Hoya for choosing a specific type of glove, stop whining and bitching and wait until all the smoke has cleared, your all too quick to jump on any little thing you hear. Simple minds...
You obviously have never received a punch in your life if you can put it as simply as that. Margarito is from this day forward SHOT. He has had hard wars every single fight with Top WW opposition taking flush bombs that would have stopped most ordinary guys but Mosley was cracking super hard shots on him all night long and this was another Hopkins vs Pavlik scenario, the difference being Pavlik is not shot now but Margarito from this day onward is shot, and he should retire, he took far too many big shots throughout all his fights... It would be criminal to make him fight again to take even more of a beating from others at this elite level
Lets say this, Margo is a natural 154, regardless ....SSM stayed at 154 for a while...he handle the weight fine...Cotto was a 140 fighter that is a natural 147...
nope. he just got beat by a better fighter last night.. he can still compete at the elite level.. just look at mosley himself.
usually I dont pay attention to threads that ask if a fighter is "shot" right after a loss...but in this case I think Marg career is headed in the wrong direction due to the "Illegal Wraps" I think he lost alot of fans for this **** plus he showed his chin isn't perfect....he will have alot of work to do as well as a **** load of explaining to do
Again, Mosley doesn't continually eat leather and get his head rocked back and ripped upwards in every fight. It catches up to you....Margie is a human being that got his comupence as well. Props to Mosley....great fight....great heart and discipline.
